Answer:

<h2>The scale factor is 1/4.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

  • The actual distance from the lake to the youth center is 8 miles.
  • On the map, the distance is 2 inches.

According to the problem, each 2 inches are equivalent to 8 miles of actual distance.

The scale factor can be found by dividing

s=\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}

Therefore, the scale factor of Vector's map is 1/4, because the actual distance is 4 times bigger.

A person trying to gain access to a bank vault must pass through a series of three security doors. If an attempt to pass through
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C) S = {F, PF, PPF, PPP}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case, we know that a person is trying to gain access to a bank vault and needs to go through 3 security doors, and we know that if the person does not pass a door, then he/she has no other attempts. We denote P= Successful pass , F= Failed pass

And we are interested on the sample space, we need to remember that the sample is the set with all the possible values for an experiment.

For this case the person can fail at the 1,2 or 3 try

For the case that fails at the 1 try we have F

For the case that fails at the 2 try we have PF

For the case that fails at the 3 try we have PPF

And the last option is that the person not fails at any try and we have PPP

So then the sample space would be given by:

C) S = {F, PF, PPF, PPP}

How many gallons are in 161.25 sq ft
nataly862011 [7]
There are none. "Square foot" is a unit of area, not volume. 
Square feet are flat, and can't hold water.

If you meant to ask about 161.25 CUBIC feet, I can help you there:

(161.25 ft³) x (1,728 in³/ft³) x (1 gallon/231 in³) = <u>1,206.234 gallons</u> (rounded)

First, find the area of the reptile room and the aquarium. A=l*w=72*83=5,976
Second, find the area of ONLY the reptile room. A=l*w. l=72-52=20 w=83-32=51
A=20*51=1,020 
Third, find the area of the Amphibian room and the aquarium. A=l*w=72*83=5,976
Fourth, subtract the area of the reptile room from the area of the Amphibian room. 5, 976 - 1,020=4,956=Amphibian room area. 
Fifth, add the area of the amphibian room to the area of the reptile room and the aquarium. 
4,956+5,976=10,932 ft^2 is the total area of both rooms and the aquarium.
